Re: My projects

I see you got the pictures working. Good looking trucks!

Getting down to see you this weekend is going to be tough. The weekend of the 12th will be a lot better.

Varies depending on paint type and how much hardener was added. Can't hurt to wait a full 30 days.

Tell us about the paint: Mfr? Base/clear? Single stage? Part number of clear (if used)? Urethane? Acrylic enamel? Lacquer (heaven forbid)?

Re: My projects

Most paints today are formulated for 1-day paint & prep. 3 weeks is a little long. You may have a time of it if the urethane (I assume it's urethane) has cured beyond easy sanding. It will let you know.

In any event, it's time to get started...

Re: My projects

I like the width of the wheels you're running on the back! Did you have to mini tub the inside of the bed to fit those?

Re: My projects

No I did not. I took the entire truck to my local tire store (tire factory) the guys measured the off sets and I bought some 10" wide American 5 spoke. They did a good job
